Pax Britannica it’s a One-button real-time strategy that puts you in control of a deep-sea “factory ship” that is immediately under attack. One button gives you the power to deploy an attack force of your own: Try to destroy your enemies before they destroy you.

The game can be played with one player versus the computer, or choose the best option and play it with 3 friends head-to-head.
It’s an open source game, developed with Lua and it’s fun with highly atmospheric sounds and music.

Installation

it’s possible to download the game directly from the official page as a binary in a .tar.gz file or take the source package and compile it.

Note: On my Xubuntu 11.04 i’ve at the moment a problem in running it, i got a segmentation fault. While it is working on other Linux (gentoo).

Gameplay

Simply press ‘A’ on the title screen to join the game. Other players can join as long as the 5-second countdown doesn’t run out. The ‘a’, ‘f’, ‘h’ and ‘l’
keys are mapped to players 1-4.

Holding down the button spins the needle on the radial menu in the middle of the player’s factory ship. The needle will only travel as far as the player’s current resources allow. Resources (gold? seaweed? who knows!) accumulate over time.

Releasing the button creates a ship that corresponds to the quadrant that the needle is pointing at.
